TO MY DEAR AND LOVING HUSBAND

If ever two were one then surly we
if ever man wereloved by wife, then thee ;

if ever wife was happy in a man
compare with me, ye women ,if you can
i
prize thy love more than whole mines of goldor all the riches that the east doth hold
my love is such that riveres cant quench
nor aught but love from thee give recompense
thy love is such i can no way repay.







then while we live in love lets so ppresevere

that when we live no more we may live ever
